Tag: changelog

We’ve released another server update today, though a fairly modest one, since bigger changes have been happening in the background with embedding JSON-LD into our pages and switching our JavaScript over to browserify. A few more edit types have been made auto-edits for everyone, as detailed in the changelog below. There’s additionally been some misc. UI changes, and a fix to output artist genders in the JSON webservice.

Thanks to chirlu, nikki, reosarevok, and the MetaBrainz team for their hard work on today’s release.

The git tag is v-2014-12-15.

Bug

• [MBS-7916] – “Set track durations” preview is broken for single-track mediums
• [MBS-8008] – “Add Event” (entity) and “Add Event” (release event) share the same translation string
• [MBS-8044] – Map doesn’t zoom when pasting coordinates
• [MBS-8066] – “Date” field wraps inconsistently in different browsers
• [MBS-8082] – Gender missing on artist lookup (JSON)

Improvement

• [MBS-7478] – Make more use of HTML5 form field types
• [MBS-7970] – Replace guess case bubbles with icons next to the fields
• [MBS-7973] – Make remove alias/ISRC/ISWC edits auto-edits for auto-editors
• [MBS-7975] – Make move disc ID edits auto-edits
• [MBS-8045] – Update link_event to include dates

This release was pushed back a week due to scheduling around the GSoC summit and upcoming schema change release, but here it finally is. Editors can take note that more edit types are now auto-edits: adding recording-work relationships, adding/editing aliases, setting track durations, and editing cover artwork. We’ve also added a “Make all edits votable” checkbox to allow edits that are normally always applied automatically (like capitalization changes) to be left open for voting if there’s any dispute or uncertainty. Auto-editors should be aware that this checkbox replaces the one that previously toggled their auto-editor privileges (so it should be left unchecked wherever it was previously left checked).

As part of this release, we’ve deployed some changes that should hopefully prevent slow /ws/2 searches from tying up too many perl processes on our frontends. This may reduce the number of 502s we’ve been seeing lately, but it’s a bit early to pronounce any results. Thanks go to kepstin for suggesting the nginx trickery used here.

More thanks go to chirlu, nikki, and ianmcorvidae for their hard work on today’s release.

The git tag is v-2014-11-03 and the full changelog is below.

A day late on this, due to the summit, sickness, and a variety of travel. But we’ve got you all another release to kick around!

The git tag for this release is v-2014-09-30.

We’ve only got two actual tickets this release, which follow:

Bug

• [MBS-7642] – Areas displayed in wrong order?
• [MBS-7871] – Features using localStorage don’t handle quota exceeded/out of device space errors

Other work that was done this release primarily relates to sitemaps and json-ld (for which we haven’t been making tickets) and refactoring of guess case code, as well as some other small fixes. The full list of commits is available at https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/compare/v-2014-09-15…v-2014-09-30 for the specifically curious.

As planned, another musicbrainz-server release today. Nothing too exciting this time, but we’ve got the usual lot of bug fixes and improvements in.

For all editors, setting a release group’s cover art is now an auto-edit (i.e. applied instantly). Another noticeable change on entity pages is the inclusion of Wikimedia Commons images in the sidebar on all tabs, if a relationship for one exists (previously they were only visible on the main tabs).

Thanks to chirlu, navap, nikki and ianmcorvidae for their work on today’s release (entire list of changes below). The git tag is v-2014-09-15.

Note: The next release coincides with the MusicBrainz Summit (along with the core team members traveling in Europe), so the timeliness of it isn’t a sure thing, but we’ll do our best to stay on schedule.

Bug

• [MBS-5989] – Name variation marker used in edit’s tracks although track name == recording name
• [MBS-6088] – Pending relationship edits are not highlighted on inline release display

Another release! Due to holiday here in the US, and poor planning on the part of yours truly, a day late. The biggest thing this release is that we’ve finally enabled instrument credits, the schema changes for which were added in May of 2013. This means it should now be possible to enter the names of instruments as credited, whether or not this matches the name of the instrument entity in MusicBrainz! Thanks to bitmap and chirlu for fixing the bulk of the issues this release.

The git tag for this release corresponds to the correct day of release, so is v-2014-09-01. The full list of fixed issues, as usual:
